The video provides a comprehensive guide on setting up Wake-on-LAN (WoL) to remotely power on a computer that is turned off but still connected to the network and power source. It begins by showing how to enable WoL through Windows power management settings, binding the computer's IP and MAC addresses via the router, and port forwarding specific to port 9 using the UDP protocol. For users with dynamic public IP addresses, it recommends using a dynamic DNS service like Dynu DNS. The video also covers installing the Dynu client to update the dynamic IP address automatically and enabling WoL in the computer's BIOS or UEFI, specifically noting variations for different motherboards such as Asus. Finally, it demonstrates the use of the Depicus WoL app to remotely boot the computer by entering the domain name, MAC address, and port information, ensuring immediate remote access and control.

In this part of the video, the presenter addresses the issue of connecting to a remote computer that is turned off but connected to the network and power source. To solve this, the presenter explains how to enable Wake-on-LAN on Windows by selecting power management options and allowing the device to wake up the computer. Additionally, configuring the router involves binding the computer’s IP address and MAC address, a process which varies by router. The IP address and MAC address of the computer are highlighted as examples. The next step includes port forwarding, specifically forwarding port 9 to the computer’s IP address using the UDP protocol. For users with dynamic public IP addresses, dynamic DNS services, such as the free dynu dns, are recommended, and an example domain is provided for running the remote computer over the internet.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on installing the Dynu client to automatically update the dynamic public IP address. It explains the importance of enabling the wake-on-LAN feature in the BIOS or UEFI, which typically requires restarting the computer and pressing keys like F2 or Del. The method might vary depending on the motherboard type, with specific instructions for Asus motherboards provided. Additionally, the video demonstrates how to download, unzip, and configure the Depicus wake-on-LAN app to remotely boot a target computer by filling in the domain name, MAC address, and port information. Following these steps, pressing the alarm button will turn on the target computer almost immediately, allowing remote access and control via the remote desktop feature.
